Spent approximately 5 hrs in the contest:
OP: K7SZ

Entry: SOAB
PWR: 99W
Qs: 112
Mults: 67
Score: 22512
After this contest it has come to my attention that about 98% of the 3rd world
uses kilowatt amps!! Food for thought!! (No, Mikey....I'm not going for the
Elecraft Linear!!)
10/15M were the money makers this time. 20 was tough even with 100W and
inefficient antennas. 40M was a TOTAL ZOO!! 80M was "different"....it was all I
could do to stay away from the "My New Aches and Pains but I have my New
Medication" nets (do they still call these the "Old Foggie Nets?"). Can't load
anything on 160 at present.
